Francisco Gimeno - BC Analyst AI is starting to revolutionising science across multiple domains. The fact is that is accelerating scientific discovery. This is changing the way for instance genomics, climate research. It also discover and reduces development timelines of drug development timelines by predicting protein structures, drugs compounds, and in the near future it will make even personalising treatment plans based on your genetic data. There are many other ways where we see this, but what we love more is how IT helps connect insights across different scientific domains by revealing unexpected connections between seemingly unrelated research areas. In an era where generalists will have the upper hand over pure specialists, this is a powerful tool.
